Jejum no pré-abate de suínos: bem estar animal e qualidade da carne

In the pre-slaughter management of pigs there are stressors, which depending on the duration or severity, are able to alter the quality of meat. One of the factors considered critical to the welfare is the fasting period in the farm. This practice is fundamental and proven relevance in the production chain. Besides the effects on meat quality and welfare of pigs, fasting is among the main factors responsible for the incidence of skin lesions, can significantly influence the incidence of esophagogastric ulcers and is also important to avoid any contamination of carcasses by gastrointestinal contents. When fasting is done right, it has a positive impact on welfare, meat quality and conditions of welfare during the pre-slaughter management of pigs

Exercício físico e fatores de risco cardiovasculares em mulheres obesas na pós-menopausa

Introduction: physical exercise has been recommended as a non-pharmacological, therapeutic strategy in the treatment of important cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: to analyze the impact of an exercise program, tailored to the reality of the Family Health Units (FHU), on body composition, cardiovascular risk factors and Framingham score in obese postmenopausal. Methods: 70 women between 50 and 79 years, sedentary, obese and without menstruating for at least twelve months, were randomly assigned to a trained group (TG) (n = 35) and an untrained (GnT) (n = 35). The GT took 20 weeks of a physical exercise program with three weekly sessions, consisting of monitoring activities and heating (10 minutes), 25 minutes of exercise flexibility and strength, 50 minute walk with intensity between 50-65% of VO2max and 5-minute cool-down. The GnT was instructed to maintain their normal activities. Results: TG showed significant reductions in body mass index (30,1+3,7 vs. 29,3+3,7; p=0,0001), waist circumference (93,3+10,3 vs. 89,1+10,4; p=0,0001), percentage of fat (54,2+2,9 vs. 53,2+3,3; p=0,0001), systolic blood pressure (128,0+14,6 vs. 119,2+10,3; p=0,0001), triglycerides (148,4+66,1 vs. 122,8+40,7; p=0,006), VLDL cholesterol (29,7+13,2 vs. 24,5+8,0; p=0,005) and Framingham score (13,08+4,0 vs. 11,77+4,1; p=0,010). In the untrained group were observed significant increases in the percentage of fat (55,0+4,0 vs. 57,0+3,8; p=0,0001), systolic blood pressure (128,6+10,5 vs. 133,7+12,0; p=0,001), fasting glucose (95,2+18,4 vs. 113,7+28,8; p=0,001) and Framingham score (12,82+3,2 vs. 13,91+4,0; p=0,043), but also decreases levels of HDL cholesterol (55,1+10,5 vs. 51,7+11,0; p=0,017). Conclusion: the exercise program, adapted to the conditions of FHU, was effective in reducing cardiovascular risk factors in obese postmenopausal women served by the SUS program.

Differences in acoustic and perceptual parameters of the voice between elderly and young women at habitual and high intensity

The present study aimed to compare elderly and young female voices in habitual and high intensity. The effect of increased intensity on the acoustic and perceptual parameters was assessed. Sound pressure level, fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and harmonic to noise ratio were obtained at habitual and high intensity voice in a group of 30 elderly women and 30 young women. Perceptual assessment was also performed. Both groups demonstrated an increase in sound pressure level and fundamental frequency from habitual voice to high intensity voice. No differences were found between groups in any acoustic variables on samples recorded with habitual intensity level. No significant differences between groups were found in habitual intensity level for pitch, hoarseness, roughness, and breathiness. Asthenia and instability obtained significant higher values in elderly than young participants, whereas, the elderly demonstrated lower values for perceived tension and loudness than young subjects. Acoustic and perceptual measures do not demonstrate evident differences between elderly and young speakers in habitual intensity level. The parameters analyzed may lack the sensitivity necessary to detect differences in subjects with normal voices. Phonation with high intensity highlights differences between groups, especially in perceptual parameters. Therefore, high intensity should be included to compare elderly and young voice.

Anestesia peribulbar para enucleação em um felino: relato de caso

Foi atendido no Hospital Veterinário “Luiz Quintiliano de Oliveira”, o felino Nick, SRD, de quatro meses de idade, pesando 700 gramas, com histórico de trauma por arranhadura em bulbo ocular esquerdo. Ao exame físico específico, evidenciou-se úlcera profunda e prolapso de íris, sendo então indicada a enucleação. Ao exame físico geral, observou-se freqüência cardíaca (FC) de 160 batimentos.min-1, frequência respiratória (f) de 80 movimentos.min-1, tempo de preenchimento capilar menor do que dois segundos, temperatura retal (TR) de 39,2oC e mucosas normocoradas. Como medicação pré-anestésica, empregou-se acepromazina (0,04 mg.kg-1) e metadona (0,3 mg.kg-1), administradas pela via intramuscular. A veia femoral esquerda foi cateterizada com cateter 24G para administração de Ringer com Lactato de sódio (10 mL.kg-1.h- 1 ). A indução foi realizada por máscara facial tendo-se como agente o isofluorano em fluxo diluente de 100 mL.kg-1.min-1 de oxigênio a 100%, seguida de intubação orotraqueal com sonda n o 2,5 sem cuff. Seguiu-se a manutenção anestésica com a mesma mistura da indução, administrada por meio de circuito anestésico sem reinalação de gases, do tipo Baraka, mantendose o paciente sob ventilação assistida. Ato contínuo, realizou-se a técnica anestésica peribulbar de punção única inferior, utilizando-se lidocaína 2% com vasoconstritor (3mg.kg-1) associada a bupivacaína 0,5% sem vasoconstritor (0,8mg.kg-1), perfazendo um volume total de 0,3ml.kg-1 . Uma agulha 13x4,5 foi introduzida em todo o seu comprimento com o bisel voltado para a órbita, no terço lateral do fórnice conjuntival inferior da órbita esquerda, administrando-se a associação dos agentes anestésicos locais, seguida de compressão manual da área para facilitar a difusão dos mesmos. Durante o procedimento anestésico, realizou-se a monitoração da FC, f, pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), TR e saturação periférica da hemoglobina (SpO2). O tempo total de anestesia e cirurgia foi de 30 e 20 minutos, respectivamente, e a SpO2, concentração de isofluorano e TR mantiveram-se em 99±1%, 1,7±0,8% e 37,4±1,5oC, respectivamente. O plano anestésico manteve-se estável, sem a necessidade de resgate analgésico. Não houve a ocorrência de reflexo óculo-cardíaco (ROC) frente à manipulação do nervo óptico, o que pode ser atribuída provavelmente ao bloqueio peribulbar. A anestesia regional é frequentemente empregada para cirurgias oftálmicas em humanos, como a facoemulsificação, sendo que o manejo anestésico pode contribuir para o sucesso do procedimento. Pode-se concluir que, também na espécie felina, o bloqueio peribulbar pode ser uma boa alternativa para a realização de protocolos de anestesia balanceada para procedimentos oftálmicos.

Carcinoma de células escamosas de grandes proporções

The oral and oropharyngeal cancer is aggressive and, in Brazil, the incidence is considered one of the world’s tallest, the most common of head and neck. It affects males more intensively and 70% of cases are in adults over 50 years of age. It is located usually on the floor of the mouth and tongue. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to report a case of male patient, 78 years of age, leukoderma who sought hospital care. Reported frequent smoking and alcoholism. On physical examination headgear, there was the presence of lymph node fixed, painless 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter in the submandibular region. Physical examination intraoral ulcer was found at about 5 cm at its greatest extent, localized to the left oral floor region of the oropharynx, reddish, hardened edges, surface and bottom corrugated carton. The differential diagnosis suggested was traumatic ulcer, paracoccidioidomycosis and squamous cell carcinoma. The approach employed was obtained by incisional biopsy and the piece sent to histopathological analysis, confirming the case of squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment consisted in clarifying the patient about the disease and the need to search for an oncology center. It is concluded that the oral clinical examination is accurate in all major injuries to mouth, even if the chief complaint does not focus on this. In individuals at high risk examination should be systematic and individuals with suspicious lesions should be referred to specialist consultation.

Boas práticas de laboratório e biossegurança: prevenção dos riscos ergonômicos

El control de los riesgos ergonómicos es parte del paquete de medidas de Buenas Prácticas de Laboratorio y Bioseguridad. De este modo, la mala postura, la iluminación o ventilación inadecuadas , prolongada jornada de trabajo, la monotonía y la actividad repetitiva, intensa rutina, el control de la productividad , el estrés y el trabajo por la noche son factores a los riesgos ergonómicos. Como se relacionan a los elementos físicos y de organización también pueden interferir con la comodidad y la salud del personal de laboratorio. Riesgos ergonómicos no sólo pueden generar trastornos psicológicos y fisiológicos que causan graves daños a la salud, sino también comprometer la productividad del laboratorio y reducir el equipo de seguridad , ya que producen cambios en el cuerpo y el estado emocional, tales como trastornos o lesiones relacionadas con el cansancio físico producido por el trabajo repetitivo, dolor muscular, alteraciones del sueño, diabetes, trastornos de los nervios , la taquicardia , las enfermedades del aparato digestivo (gastritis y úlcera ), tensión, ansiedad, problemas de espalda y la hipertensión. En este trabajo se propone una secuencia de actividad laboral (gimnasia) en el intervalo de tiempo pequeño, respetando las instalaciones y el espacio físico disponible en el ambiente del trabajo, como una estrategia para mejorar la calidad de vida laboral, para aumentar la productividad, mejorar la disposición a trabajar y para aumentar el conocimiento del cuerpo y de la interacción social.
